Renewable Energy

Air Source Heat Pumps

An air source heat pump (ASHP) extracts heat energy from the air, even when it is cold outside, and uses it to warm your home.

​

A well-designed air source heat pump system transfers around three times more energy into a property as heat then it uses to extract it. As a result, ASHPs are incredibly efficient.

​

Heat pumps are eligible for the Boiler upgrade scheme, providing a grant of up to £7,500 towards the installation.  For more information on the boiler upgrade scheme please click here.

​

Benefits of Heatpumps include:

• Low Running Costs

• Up to 400% efficiant

• Eligible for grants

• Great for reducing your carbon footprint

Solar Thermal

How does solar thermal energy work?

​

Energy from the sun warms the fluid within the solar panels. When the fluid reaches a useable temperature, it is pumped to a coil in the bottom of a solar cylinder. The coil transfers heat to the domestic hot water.

​

If the solar panels are not collecting enough heat to warm the water, the main system heat source (such as a boiler) can be used to top up to the required temperature. This is done using the thermostat mounted to the cylinder.

​

The control panel can be set to optimise efficient use of the solar panel and ensure hot water is available at the times you need it.

The benefits of solar thermal

Installing solar thermal hot water heating requires minimal upheaval and can deliver considerable cost savings, making this type of renewable technology a practical and cost-effective option for new-builds and existing properties.

​

• Produces up to 60% of a property’s annual hot water – as much as 100% in summer.

• Suitable for every home, whether new build or retrofit.

• Low-cost investment.
